Thursday's game could be ugly. 4th game in 6 nights 2 of which are against Boston and Boston of the west, the St. Louis Blues who are on a tear right now. It will be a good test for the boys but I will forgive them if they lose, fingers crossed for no more injuries.

At least Schneider can win SO games.

The other two, well...when you feel better that Rome is coming back, that says it all. Pretty clear after this road trip that MG will be looking for a depth D and a depth forward as insurance.

Pretty hard to get something without giving up, unless you want to trade picks. All the trade scenarios I've seen here seem to involve packaging up a bunch our depth players (Hodgson, Schneider, Raymond etc) for a decent player, which reduces our depth.Otherwise if we're trading for a 12th forward or a 7th D man, what's the point?

With Booth & Rome coming back things should be better.Hopefully we'll get Ebett, Volpatti & Salo back for the playoffs.And they still have Tanev in the AHL

Actually Ballard, Sulzer and AA were even or better tonight. KB3 was -1 did not have a very good game especially early on. The goats in this one were the Sedins, not because they did not score, but because they were on ice for 2 against. Shifts were too long and they were gassed. Two really bad changes allowed the Lightning to come back.

Another solid game by Schneids and the 4th line played very well.

Well, the team has show resiliency after playing a couple of bad games. They have also shown that they can get up for meaningful games. I expect they bring their A game and want to make the statement they are the best tam in the West.
